Waring Commercial WCG75 Pro Prep Chopper Grinder, 3 Cup Food Processor, Includes 2 Work Bowls and Blade Assemblies. 3/4 HP, 420 Watt. 120V

This rocks! I bought it for grinding spices which I do often. I was using a coffee grinder which worked okay but could only do small batches. This is kind like a small food processor on steroids and super easy to clean. And it makes thick heavy whipped cream , salsa , sauces, and it can powderize the strongest black peppercorns. I came back and bought extra jars for it as the have sealable lids. Makes this super useful for all kinds of meal prep.

UPDATE: Used it again and it shut off and won't power back on. I put in a contact email on the Waring website and they haven't communicated back. $300+ down the drainMy mother grinds herbs into a paste that we use of several Cambodian dishes. Traditionally this is done with a mortar and pestle but she's approaching 80 and her hands cramp up. She still loves being in the kitchen so I thought a commercial grade wet/dry grinder would come in handy. We were using a small coffee grinder for some of the dry ingredients but needed something for large batches. We put sliced lemongrass, small chunks of galangal, ginger and garlic in the Waring ended up with a lumpy batch vs the paste we normally get. I ended up having to scoop everything out and finishing it a personal blender that cost 4x less than the 3cup waring. The only good thing about it is that the cup is removable and easy to clean. Now it's packing dust in a kitchen cabinet because I'm past the return window. This was the one thing I purchased this product for and it fails.

As a chef, I need functional and reliable equipment and so far this mill has been very good. For now I have nothing to complain about. Very efficient and fast. The 3 bowls are really practical and everything washes very well. I recommend it without any problem. The price is not affordable for everyone but if you use a lot of whole spices it is worth the investment.

I am really happy with this chopper? blender? food processor? or whatever they call it. I looked in all the box stores for a small food processor but it was almost impossible to get at them because they were boxed or in plastic. The few that were out as demos just looked junkie to me. The price for this Waring Chopper was much higher than the off-the-shelf stuff, but after a lifetime of buying tools I have learned that it doesn't pay to go cheap. This was well worth it. As soon as you pick it up you can tell it's going to be a keeper. It's HEAVY. And unbelievably quiet. And it doesn't dance around on the counter when it's working. I like the small size because it doesn't take up a whole lot of room on my limited size countertop, plus it sits UNDER the wall cabinets. If you are OK with a smaller type of food processor (or whatever it is) I can recommend this one highly. Absolutely no regrets.

Does a great job of fine grinding while not heating the sample. The lid seals nicely to the cup and all is easy to clean. The lid breaks easily so order extras. In the heavy-duty application, I use it for in the lab we do go through cups and have needed to replace these. With the excellent job they do I keep ordering them.

Have only ground Chia seeds so far. worked great.

This is most definitely NOT a commercial grade grinder. Struggles as a "kitchen grade" grinder. Having just received my order and trying it out for my use, grinding lumpy brown sugar, I find this unit to be underpowered, grinding chamber is not well sealed, very hard to clean and quite bulky. I encountered problems inserting and locking the bowl to the base. At 6' 230lbs I do not consider myself under powered but I struggled to get the bowl locked to safely commence grinding. One revolution and the motor stopped. after removing the contents and breaking them down to pea sized lumps I continued. The blades just whirled the pieces up to the top and required MUCH repeated pulsing to reach an acceptable consistency. With added steps I will be able to make this unit work but NOT satisfied with what I envisioned the item to be. I wasted a total, after S&H, of $259.00 on this unit. I gave it one (1) star because I had to have something in that blank. I do not recommend this item as a Commercial Spice Grinder. Herb Grinder at most. Here it is. 2023, my old coffee grinder, an off the shelf Walmart Capresso, $19.00, just gave up the ghost. Having forgotten exactly why I had put this Waring up on the shelf for I brought it down, unpackaged it and plugged it in and you guessed it. NOTHING. It just sat there. I managed to get the bowl locked down. I pushed the buttons and there it sat. Being as it is well beyond the return date. I think I'll have it bronzed as one of my life's worse acquisitions.

Love this product. Had my last one for twenty years - a work horse in my kitchen! I love that it has three grinder containers- i use one for sweet spices like cinnamon, one for savory like cumin, and one for dried chilis.
